Finally answering the age old question: ‘Can god create a universe so incredibly annoying that even he can’t ignore.’

This is all based on the dubious assumption that god is the good guy. I mean, look at all the nasty shit it is credited with. It essentially created _us v. them_, which has long been a very serious problem in this world. I am beginning to think that the prince of darkness has been subjected to an miraculousy effective smear-campaign by the so-called lord of hosts.

Not that I advocate or am interested in kow-towing to that guy either, given how questionable his trustworthiness is. As they say, "_Nothing is Greater than God_” – why choose the lesser?

But can you deny the existence of the elusive [Og](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oganesson)?

Due to HIPAA constrains, I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of Og.

If anyone ever decides to write the Third Testament\* that would make a pretty good one.

\*(or Fourth, if you subscribe to the notion that the Third was revealed to Mr. Smith a couple of centuries ago)
